dealers were concerned. He approved the bill
to fix the pay Of police surgeons In this city at
$2,26O, and he approved another act to fix the
pay of police surgeons in Albany at $500. BY
similar special acts the pay Of doormen in New

in Albany at 5000. sergeant Of police In

All this has been done with the approval of
Governor Hill, and the record might be extend
ed almost indefinitely, there have been so many
of these acts signed. The Governor approved
a bill discriminating in favor of liquor dealers
in New-York, Brooklyn and Buffalo by giving
them the right to mandamus the Excise Com
miss toner's in those three cities and not else
where in the State. He also signed bill ap-
plying only to those three cities which permits
liquor to be sold in places other than taverns or
inns. He actually signed bill relating only
to the city of Auburn, which provides that the
Common Council shall have power Ito sup
press and restrain houses and places where
intoxicating liquors are sold.' 1t was only
when the Legislature proposed to prohibit the
sale of liquor to lunatics, or to lessen taxation
in York by raising the license fee, that
the Governor discovers an insuperable OBJ
lection to such special legislation. 1t is sur
prlsing that even Governor Hill had the assur-
ance to raise such an objection.

.corUvBTHS HUNDRyD YEARS


The celebration of Columbia's hundredth
year WIS carried out with a distinction and
dignity worthy Of tho college and Of the city.
ONLY so significant and memorable an occasion
ns this could bring together so imposing q body
OF American edua tors, the leading univer-
sites and colleges OF the country sending dele
cations of the most venerable and honored
members of their faculties. The highest and
best work accomplished in American institu-
tons of learning was worthily represented In
the assembly at the Metropolitan Opera House.
Columbia distributed honors and titles with a
generous hand among her guests, and the long
list of degrees conferred brings to mind wide
range Of fruitful activity in many fields OF
research.
The opening of Columbias second century
should be marked by the expansion of her in
tellectual domain. Her abiding place is in the
midst of the concentrated wealth and enter
prise of the New World. Columbia can never
enjoy wholly undisturbed the still air of de-
lightful studies, for the rushing currents of
business and material progress sweep by her
threshold, and the din and stir of great cap
ital must always beat at her windows. But
the influence Of city and college on each other
will hardly fail to be salutary. The college
should supply in unstinted measure the bcnef-
cent leaven of culture, while the energy and
vitality of Americas greatest community should
lnvigorato and strengthen the venerable mother
of learning and the arts. With the ending OF
the old century and the beginning of the new.
a keener more eager life and vigor should ill
her every vein.
The complete and careful articles which have
been published in THE TRIBUNE have shown
what the college has been in the past. Noble
and excellent as her achievements have been.

Newly orlzcr, who is proud Of the college and
the city, feels that she should possess and i'm

wealth and the wisdom of New-York should be
freely at her disposal, and the generous citizens
who have shown their public spirit by many
splendid gifts should see to it that she Is never

and endowmcnts, and to mike her labors more
extensive and fruitful. Tho greatest OF

COSTLY BL UNDERING.

The disclosures respecting the Atlanta's guns
are extraordinary. The cruiser has been waiting
for her armament month after month, and the
Ordnance Bureau has made a remarkable dis
play Of incompetence. The 1otchkiSs guns
seem TO have been arbitrarily selected with
out reference to tho gun-towcrs and when
they were put on deck sections OF the side
plating had TO bc cut out and more or less
tinkcring done in order to make them fit Then
the tracks were laid first with copper, next
with steel and finally with iron nyets the
officers in charge Of the armament not knowing
what any ordinary mechanic at the Navy lan
could have told uem-that iron was the only
material that should be used for bolts. AT last,
when tins tracks were laid after months OF
delay, it was found impossible to work the
guns The carriages did not lit the tracks
Tho engines provided by the Ordnance Bureau
were too small TO furnish the necessary power.
and there were many mechanical obstacles 10
the successful operation of the guns. Inc
officers in charge Of this business seem TO have
neglected to take proper measurements so as
TO adapt the tracks 10 the carriages. and to have
been unable to master the engineering
problems which they were expected to solve.
The guns are on board the ship, but notwith-
standing the vexatious delay they cannot even

Such strange displays Of ignorance and
incompetence arc a sorry outcome OF pre-

for the delay in sending the Atlanta TO sea

enccs have been made in Washington dispatches
authorized by Naval officials TO the repairing
